"Portrait Of A Boy" is a beautiful portrait of a boy by Max Ernst. The portrayed blond boy Theo Oberle, son of Prof. Dr. dr. Wilhelm Oberle, looks up to the viewer with his bright blue eyes, which do not quite lack a certain sadness.
The background is a summary, the colors can be interpreted as a green cushion and as a chair or corner of a sofa with reddish brown fabric. Theo Oberle wears a sailor suit with short sleeves. Their ends are like the collar over the shoulders, and like the bib over the chest rendered in a rusty shade of red. A dark blue tie is knotted as a loop around the collar. The blue shirt and the complexion of the face Max Ernst modeled by shades of color rich in nuances.
